A follow-up on the Altmire/Hart race

"Health care is an important issue," said Hart campaign manager Luke Myslinski. "She will talk health care with him any time."

The next day the Altmire campaign said basically, "Ok. Where and when?"

As I posted last August 15th, there had been no response from the Hart Camp.

In the event you were curious, things haven't changed. A source close to the Altmire campaign tells me that Hart has already turned down invitations to appear with him from a number of non-partisan organizations.

Hmmm, I wonder why?

I also hear from that source that the Hart Campaign commissioned a poll a few weeks ago - but hasn't released the results.

The fact that these incumbents - from either party - can get away without having to ever actual debate the serious issues facing this country prior to an election is sickening. If nobody's noticed, this system is broken.
